We took another walk in the opposite direction this time – towards the City as it goes. We were in search of elderberries and rose hips – and we found them! Cheers Gaia…

Also spied a community orchard while we we’re out and about. Umm, how cool is that.

Back again soon with recipes for this little bounty….

Word on foraging: remember you’re not the only one that wants to get their hands on nature’s seasonal treasures. You gotta bear in mind when picking that other humans want some, and birds, bees, butterflies, woodland creatures and the plants themselves need them too. Resist the urge to pick everything you see, tempting as it is.

You know this of course, it’s just our conscience won’t let us do a post about foraging without including a bit on responsible foraging – soz!
